TikTokers loved the video of the dog opening the patio door with his snout. The clip video boasts 909,000 views and counting!

"Turns out, it was my foster dog that learned how to open the door to let the other dogs in," Heidi wrote in the subtitles of her video.

Netizens gushed over how smart German Shepard dogs are in the comments. Many dubbed them "too smart for their own good sometimes." Heidi agreed, replying, "That’s what we were saying… he’s smarter than us combined!"

Others joked that now she just has to train the dog to close the door behind him when he leaves.
